Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The narrow drinking alleys of Golden Gai and smoky yakitori stalls of Omoide Yokocho sit just minutes away on foot.
The rooms
Renovated upper-floor rooms make smart use of compact layouts, framing sweeping views across the railway tracks and skyline.
At the table
Top-floor FUGA serves contemporary Japanese dining and afternoon tea 90 meters up, and Prince Marché hosts live-kitchen buffets below.
How it began
Built in 1977 by Shimizu Corporation, the tower was engineered as a combined railway terminal, shopping complex, and hotel.
